A colleague, Josh Kraushaar, flags this great scene from a documentary, "Taking the Hill," ton Eric Massa's unsuccessful 2006 campaign.

“I don’t want you on TV tonight to be angry,” Emanuel whispers to Massa at one point. “Take it down a notch.” “I never had an admiral walk on my ship that wasn’t inspecting me. … He wants to fine tune me and refine me, and my problem is I am who I am, and I’m not very refinable,” Massa says later. "He thinks I'm too fiery."

"If all people see is anger, they’ll see anger. Do you ever remember a person not likeable winning?” Rahm says, slapping Massa on the chest. “Be likable.”

America...if the Democratzi 'loons' of Gibbs and Rahm "fish head" Emanual are coming out against Massa...you can believe that Massa is tellling the truth and they are working to discredit him and deflect the truth of how they operate! They are all dirty...but the leadership is the worst...because they are the perpetuators of the smears! JUST EIGHT (8) MORE MONTHS TO ‘D’ DAY II ! ONE (1) SLUG DOWN - FIFTY-NINE (59) SLUGS TO GO - GUARANTEED! IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…AND 2010 WILL BE THE TIME!

I know Rahm Emanuel (for at least 27 years). Rahm Emanuel is my friend. I've worked with Rahm Emanuel, and Rahm Emanuel is no Rahm Emanuel.
Actually he can be, but he can be the inverse as well. There is the very friendly and warm person who keeps his word as well as a cut them off at the knees opponent.. He has a cultural depth one doesn't normally find in hard as nails politicians. He does what he needs to do when he needs to do it. There are few people I'd rather have on my side if I were in battle, and he is one of the last people I'd want to have to battle against; but as tough as he is, he is also fair.
